Patent CA-2334744-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HUND RENE
IPC: D21H17/37
Filed: 1999-06-01
Abstract: The invention relates to an improved paper production process according to which a cross-linked polymer prepared in reverse-phase emulsion and sheared before introduction into the fibrous mass is used as the main retention aid, and then bentonite is used as the secondary retention aid (a dual type system). The two additions are not separated by any mandatory stage for intense shearing of the fibrous suspension (or mass).     The paper manufacturer can therefore be free from the constraints of shearing the pulp.     A distinctly improved retention of the fines is obtained, and also a distinct improvement in drainage. In addition, the bentonite content in the white water is reduced. Lastly, excellent formation is maintained.

Abstract: This is a self-regenerating catalyst member which may be used to remove particulate carbon end residual hydrocarbonaceous material from engine exhaust, especially those emanating from diesel engines. Specifically, the invention is an oxidation catalyst preferably placed onto a particulate trap  or collector and placed in the exhaust circuit of a diesel engine. The catalytic material involved is specially formulated to form what are believe d to be large particle, multi-metal oxide-based catalytic particles. The catalytic particles may be perovskites. The catalytic materials of this invention include at least one member selected from Group IB metals, preferably copper, and at least one member selected from Group VIII metals, preferably iron, and compounds thereof and Group 5B metals, preferably vanadium or vanadium compounds. Optionally, one or more Platinum Group metal s (Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, and Pt) may be added if so desired. The specific method  of preparing the active oxidation components of the composition is believed to provide the improved composition. The composition is long-lived and is self- regenerating at most diesel exhaust gas temperatures.

Abstract: The invention is an image analysis system and method for grading of meat, predicting quality of meat and/or predicting meat yield of an animal. One embodiment of the invention is particularly designed to capture an image of the 12th rib cross section of the ribeye and perform an image analysis of the ribeye for grading purposes. The image capturing camera portion of the system has a wedged shaped camera housing for ease of insertion into the ribbed incision. The image capturing portion of the system further comprises a camera with a flash for consistent lighting. The camera is positioned such that it views the ribeye cross section at an angle to accommodate the wedge shape of the camera housing for ease of insertion in the incision. The camera housing also has various alignment means to facilitate the user's ability to capture images in a consistent manner. Once the image is captured either digitally or captured and converted to a digital image, an image analysis is performed on the digital image to determine parameters such as the percentage lean, total area of the ribeye, total fat area, total lean area, percent marbling, and thickness of fat adjacent to the ribeye, and other parameters. These parameters are used to predict value determining traits of the carcass.
